To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL DANNE, a citi zen of the United States, and resident of the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pen and Pencil Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to holders or cases for carrying pens and pencils and other school implements, and has for its object to rovide a com act, convenient and durable holder of this escription. These im roved results I obtain by constructing a exible, foldable holder, entirely seamless and uniting the parts of which it is composed by metallic fasteners, so that school children may be prevented from ri ping these holders to pieces. The flexible holder is further supplied with one or more flexible cross bands which are slitted and which receive, through said slits, ta es formed into loops for embracing the imp ements that are to be carried. The holder is also doubled at one end so as to form a pocket in the bottom of which a strip of wood, leather or cork is placed, to form an abutment for the pen or pencil so as to prevent it from readily breaking. I

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a face view of my improved holder in its open condition. Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a view showing the holder folded or closed. Fig. 4 is a section thereof on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a face view showing another form of In invention. Fi 6 is a similar view of stil another form 0 my in vention.. Fig.7 is a sectional view thereof on the line 77 of Fi 6. p

A represents the holder pro er, which is doubled over along its longitu inal edges as indicated at B and is also doubled laterally as indicated at C. These double portions are secured together by metallic fasteners D of any suitable description. At the left in Fig. 1 the holder is rovided with a turned over portion E, whic is fastened by metallic fasteners E in such a manner as to forr a pocket adapted to receive the ends of the lmplements contained in the holder. Strips of wood, leather, or cork F are placed in said pocket to form an abutment for the said implements. It is preferable to have this abutment composed of two separate pieces of material neither of which extends across the center of the holder, so as to facilitate the longitudinal folding of said holder along the line G.

H, H are flexible cross bands whichare slitted as indicated at H 1, I are tapes which pass through the slits H to form loops arran ed to receive the pens, pencils and other imp ements J. The flexile strips H, and H are secured in position by the metallic fasteners D which also serve, as hereinbefore stated, to secure the doubled ortions B of the holder together. The tapes ,I being com osed of continuous strips secured only at t e center and at the ends may be freely moved back and forth in said slits so that the various loops, formed by said tapes, are adjustable to accommodate varying sizes of implements. The flexible stri s and the tapes are secured to each other at t e center by fasteners H It will be seen that as shown in Fig. 1 with the implements in position the points thereof extend into the pocket formed by the ortion E and abut a ainst the pieces of cor leather or wood F. T lie points of such implements are therefore rotected a ainst breakage. It will further e noticed t at the holder is somewhat longer than the implements, so that a portion, C, forms a fla which may be bent over on the line C an secured in this position by the mating members of the fastener G which may be in the nature of a glove fastener. When this end is so bent over it also forms a pocket into which the opposite ends of the implements extend. Fasteners J, J also of the glove-fastener type, are rovided for securing the holder in its close condition after it has been folded lengthwise along the line G. In the form of my invention shown in Fig. 5 the holder is provided with the flaip 1 along one of its longitudinal ed es, which ap is provided with an eyelet 2 t ough whic extends the t ing ribbon 3. In this form the flap c is mere folded inward and the holder is then folde len thwise along the lines g with the flap ,1 on t e outside, after which the ribbon 3 is wound around said holder in its folded condition and the ends thereof secured together. Otherwise this form of myinvention may be the same as that shown and de-..

the ta es '5, i extend in the same manner as descri ed with re ard to Fig. 1. This linin 4 extends throu out the entire holder an adds a finish to t' e article, which may be desired in some cases. Myim roved holder is of es ecial use in lieu of too or pencil boxes whic have been excluded from schools owing to the rattle and noise which children are enabled to make with their aid. The entire device forms a very convenient holderto be carried in the pocket or in the hand as it may be desired. that 'where I have used the term tape throughout the s ecification, I mean any flexible band ma e of fabric or leather or similar material.

It is to be noted, so far as the loop-forming bands or tapes are concerned, that the flexible bands which carry them are preferably provided at their centers with metallic fasteners such as have been hereinbefore referred to and which may, if desired, connect them with the back of the holder instead of being free as shown. The object of these I wish it distinctly understood fasteners is to prevent the tages which form loops on one side of the hol er from being drawn through to the other side thereof.

Various modifications may be made Without departing from the nature of my invention as defined in the claim.

I claim as my invention;

A case for pens, pencils and the like, said case bein made of flexible material having double ed es held together by metallic fasteners, and a pocket at one end with a divided insertion to protect the points of pencils and'the like, flexible strips extending transversely of the case and provided with slits, and tapes passed throu h said slits and formin loops to hold penci s and the like.

n testimony whereof I havehereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses this 9th day of April 1908.

EMIL DANNE.
